HighLife valve replacement for severe leaking mitral valve
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a new catheter-based valve replacement system for people with moderate to severe, or severe, mitral valve regurgitation (a leaky mitral valve). It aims to check whether the procedure is safe and can improve heart function compared with expected care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and agree to join the study by signing consent
- Your mitral valve leakage is moderate-severe or severe (at least “3+” on heart ultrasound)
- Your symptoms match heart failure class II, III, or walking-limited class IV
- Your heart valve shape/size is suitable for the HighLife catheter valve (annulus and leaflet measurements must fit)
- You can get required heart imaging using a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) and follow all follow-up visits

This trial studies a newer, catheter-based mitral valve treatment in people with moderate-severe to severe mitral valve leaking who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. It may help improve symptoms and heart function without traditional surgery, but you must meet key heart, anatomy, and safety requirements.
This study tests a new device that replaces a leaking mitral valve without open-heart surgery. It may help people who have severe mitral valve leakage but cannot safely have standard surgery or some other less invasive valve repairs.
This study tests a new catheter-based system to treat severe mitral valve leaking when open-heart surgery is considered high risk. It may help improve blood flow and symptoms by repairing the valve without open surgery, using ultrasound guidance and follow-up visits to track safety and results.
This registry is testing a new, less invasive way to replace your mitral valve using a catheter. It's for people who cannot have open-heart surgery or a MitraClip, and who have a strong enough heart.
This trial studies a catheter-based procedure to replace the mitral valve in people with severe (or specific moderate) mitral valve leakage that causes symptoms. It may help by reducing leaking and related symptoms when standard surgery or less invasive fixes aren’t suitable for you.
This study checks whether an innovative device can safely replace a damaged mitral valve in people who are higher risk for open-heart surgery. It looks at how well the procedure and follow-up work for improving mitral leakage symptoms.
